  • [01] FM briefs President on UNSC agenda

    Foregin minister Dora Bakoyannis on Tuesday briefed President of the Republic Karolos Papoulias on the issues on the UN Security Council agenda for the month of September, during Greece's term in the UNSC rotating presidency for the month of September.

    Bakoyannis was due to meet later in the day with visiting British Minister for Europe Geoffrey Hoon for talks covering EU enlargement -- including Turkey's European course -- the Cyprus problem, and issues of international concern that are at the focus of this month's United Nations Security Council discussions, since Greece holds the monthly rotating presidency of the Council.

    The meeting will be followed by statements to the press.

    In the afternoon, Bakoyannis will brief parliament's Standing Committee on National Defence and Foreign Affairs on the developments in the Middle East and the agenda of Greece's UNSC presidency.

    Earlier, Bakoyannis received US ambassador in Athens Charlies Ries. The meeting was held in light of Bakoyannis' upcoming visit to the US, where she is due on Friday, and the current sessions of the UN Security Council. The Greek foreign minister is due to arrive in New York on September 15, and will address the UN General Assembly on September 22. Afterwards, she will visit Washington on September 26-27, where she will have meetings with US National Security advisor Stephen Hadley and energy secretary Samuel Bodman.

    Hoon is also scheduled to meet Deputy Foreign Minister responsible for European Affairs, Yannis Valinakis. The talks will focus on EU matters, such as the Union's budget, the discussion on the Future of Europe, the Common Agriculture Policy and the free movement of workers.
